Silicon Valley ’s latest investor darling, a $400 juice machine, does essentially the same thing as human hands , Bloomberg reports ― and Twitter users are squeezing the situation for every drop of sarcasm it’s worth. Juicero is a juicing machine and service that secured about $120 million in funding from the likes of Google and other venture capitalists before it rolled out to 17 states this week. The pricey machine is built to squeeze the subscription-only Juicero bags of chopped fruit and veggies, which it reportedly “cold-presses” using four tons of force . Some have called the machine a Keurig for juice . But there’s one teeny problem: It turns out you don’t need the machine. Bloomberg reports that recently, “some investors were surprised to discover a much cheaper alternative: You can squeeze the Juicero bags with your bare hands.

Balancing school, work and being black can make it difficult to prioritize looking good. But three Howard alumnae and friends are making the efforts involved with being busy, black and well-kempt much simpler with an app providing on-demand barber service to your doorstep. The HausCall app provides on-demand barber services to users’ doorsteps. Created by Morgan Winbush, Killian Lewis and Crystal Allen-Washington, the app offers users the ability to book an immediate appointment with a barber of their choosing or schedule one in advance. “It’s homecoming at Howard. Every guy we know is trying to feel and look like Diddy,” Winbush, the Chief Marketing Officer told Vibe . “If you’re running or coming into town really late, and you had to go to #1000Bottles or whatever party is happening on Friday night, but you didn’t have enough time to spare, you could use HausCall and a barber would come wherever you are to cut your hair and make sure you looked great.” A soft launch of the app will take place in New York and Washington D.C.

Ten months after Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg ’s husband died, media reports revealed she had jumped into the deep end of the dating pool and was seeing Bobby Kotick , an old friend and tech billionaire. The world’s reaction to this news was fairly predictable: She was judged and slut-shamed on Facebook in crude language. In the minds of many, the newly widowed shouldn’t date “too soon,” although no one has actually determined when “too soon” is. Is it a year? Is it when the kids leave for college? It’s a topic complicated enough that it is even discussed on dating sites . Sandberg addresses the issue in her new book, Option B: Facing Adversity, Building Resilience, and Finding Joy

Kids of the ’90s look away right now: The toy of your childhood is about to get seriously squashed. Lauri Vuohensilta , the Finnish factory owner behind the “ Hydraulic Press Channel ” on YouTube, takes on a Furby in his newest video. And sadly for the animal-like robotic creature, it’s clear from the outset that there’ll only be one winner: As the press comes down, you can almost hear the poor electronic critter’s cries of despair. Vuohensilta posted the clip online Friday, and it garnered more than 150,000 views in the first 12 hours.

Note: This entry is coauthored with Patrick Markey, Professor of Psychology at Villanova University and coauthor of our book Moral Combat: Why the War on Violent Video Games is Wrong . While the rest of the world agonizes over low-hanging fruit such as catastrophic climate change, whether Russia now runs the U.S., or if the liberal media is out to assassinate our president (figuratively one presumes), let’s turn our attention to the really important question of our age. What is going to happen with video games now that Trump is our president? Video games, especially violent ones, have long been a political whipping child whenever some perceived social ill needs a folk devil to blame on.

Female surgeons across the world are tweeting photos of themselves , all thanks to a recent New Yorker magazine cover.
